Seongwha.

"My prince! Get up, your late!"

Seongwha opened his eyes to the loud footsteps and voices outside his chamber, he lent up from his bed and rubbed his face. Yawning.

"Yayyyy.. voyage." He grumbled, tossing himself out of his bed and headed to his wardrobe where a white fur jacket was placed neatly in front. He grabbed it and slipped it on, it reached to his ankles which he found rather ridiculous.

He opened his door, Maids and guards quickly ran into the chambers. They collected the luggage. The same guard from last night was there, Seongwha decided to ignore it and made his way to the ground floor.

"Your late." The king snapped as he tugged him by the arm and brought him towards a carriage. He threw him in as he scrambled to his seat. Ashen stared in silence.

"What are you looking at?" Seongwha asked as the king slammed the door shut, walking off to his carriage. Ashen smirked and looked away. This guy.. "I was talking to you."

"Was you?" He asked with a blank expression on his face just to Wind Seongwha up. He rolled his eyes and watched the guards march forward with the carriage which now shuffled down the driveway.

Crowds swarming endlessly around them as they were taken to the harbour. Some throwing gold at them. Nasty comments echoed and raged through the people, Seongwha covered his ears.

"Just ignore them. It's not that hard." Ashen smirked as he mocked him by covering his own ears. Seongwha lifted his away.

"It's hard not to when it's all about you." He spoke calmly, trying to ignore Ashen's silly comment. He wanted to carve Ashen's mouth out with a knife. But he maintained his anger.

He faces into the crowd, small children running around with play swords. He smiled, knowing that he was once like that. Only by himself instead of a group. Throughout his life, it was lonely. He's never had proper friends, when he did, they often ended up at the noose for attempt of murder.

The carriage slowly came to a stop, horses neighed and trotting on the spot. Seongwha opened the door and stepped out with no help from a guard. Unlike Ashen who had a dozen fly toward him like mosquitoes and blood.

"We are here?" He asked as the king stood in the white sleet of snow which covered just above his shoes. The blizzard hadn't stopped.

"Seongwha, help gather the luggage with the guards. Ashen, let's get you on the ship." He said cooly as Ashen joined him leaving Seongwha by himself. Which he didn't mind.
He tucked behind the guards and pulled Ashen's chests, why are they so heavy?

"I'll take that, my prince. You get yourself on board before they leave." A maid said and without any hassle, Seongwha nodded. Running off toward the ship. His fur coat gently swayed in the cold snow dappled onto it.

He looked up at the ship, the sails were down but the boat moved still. It was gorgeous. That's all he could think of it. He glanced around the sides which canon holes poked through. Is that necessary?

He stumbled up on it, slipping and sliding on the deck but enough to keep his balance. He waddled over to Ashen who had a black fur coat on, opposite to his. His grey eyes glared at Seongwha in confusion.

"Are you suppose to be down there, helping?-.." he was quickly stopped when Seongwha wrapped his hand onto his mouth, "oh fuck off." He grumbled as he slid his hand down.

"Hoist the anchors!" Someone shouted which caused the two princes to jump, men rushed to the side of the ship and tugged on a rope until an anchor made its way onto the ship, they attached it to a hook and let it hang over the side.

Seongwha looked over at his father, he stood a far from them. Probably doesn't want to even be seen with him. He decided and headed to below deck.

————

It had been five days since They had set sail for The Phantom Palace for that alliance thing which Seongwha thought was an attack with the amount of swords stacked in his quarters. Thankfully, he didn't share with Ashen. That would've been hell.

The snow had cleared up now and a shining sun pierced through the clouds like a sword through an enemy. It was still freezing on deck, must be by the sea.

Seongwha placed his head down on his pillows, the rest of him resting on a fur trim cover. It wasn't much of a bed. Rather a small pit of hay and fur coating it to make it look moderately bed like.

Suddenly the ship tipped to the side as footsteps scrambled around above him, on deck. Shouting and screaming echoed which made Seongwha shiver with fear. He stood up from his bed and put his fur coat on.

He stepped up onto the decks floor, twisting the door open slightly. A guard flew at the door, shutting it again as blood seeped through under it. Seongwha's eyes widened as he backed away from the door, hitting some barrels. An attack?

After a while it became silent, the blood still flooding the floor. He heard laughter and voices. "Long live the king!" One said, Seongwha frowned as he stood up from where he was. He opened the door slightly. There was people. No. Pirates.

One with the kings crown on his blonde ish brown hair. The king was dead.

Seongwha gasped as he tipped himself toward the barrels again. He fell. A loud crash echoed through the room, he squinted and hoped that they didn't hear. They did.

The door twisted open slowly and one of the pirates barged in, a long sword in hand. His black hair slumped forward. Seongwha stared in panic.

"Well well well.." he spoke as another rammed into him, making him hiss.

"Oh he's a pretty one! We should take him to Cap'n." The other chirped, holding onto the ones shoulder. He had red hair, neatly brushed. His eyes like a foxes.

"You think cap would want him? By the looks of it, nobody else seemed to." Seemed. They're dead aren't they? Seongwha looked up at them as they began to walk closer. Grabbing hold of Seongwha, making him squeal and try push them off. They laughed.

"He's a live one right!" The pirates words embarrassed him more, he gave up as he was dragged onto the deck.

"Get off me!" Seongwha fought with his voice instead, knowing that these pirates were up to kill him. He became quiet as he saw the ship to the right of them. A skull planted on one of the sails.

"Get him over!" The red haired man said with pride as the others took turns on pulling him on the other ship. Flinging him down on the rusted deck. His head spun. "Cap! We need to show you something!" Something.. so they treat him like an object, like they own him.

He lifted his head as the two pirates before, tugged his arms back. Forcing him to kneel down. His fur coat ripped a little at the sleeves. He stared at the door which the captain's quarters would be. There, the door opened.

Revealing the captain. A large brown fur coat and a captain hat with a long feather sticking out of it. Seongwha saw the power in him. Felt the power in him. With every step the man took, the more fear would tip into Seongwha's eyes.

"Who's this pretty thing?" He asked with a grin on his face, stopping at Seongwha's feet. He forced him to look up at him. "Speak."

"Seongwha.." he muttered and the other pirates laughed gently. The ones holding him tugged harder. "I'm Prince Seongwha."

The captains eyes widened and so did his smile. "Well, prince Seongwha. Welcome to hell."
